Google Maps business listings are generated and ranked entirely by mathematical algorithms. Google algorithms and index sometimes experience changes, so businesses may not always appear for a particular category or keyword search. Google also can't guarantee that your listing will appear in search results for a particular category or keyword.

Please be assured that these changes are automated and impartial. Google knows that business owners sometimes feel that their business should be listed in a different category, but Google can't associate or disassociate a specific search term from an individual business listing, either manually or by request. It's always Google's intent to represent available online content fairly and accurately.

If you don't know whether or not your listing is included on Google, try searching for [your business name in your city, zip code]. You should be able to locate it if your listing does not violate Google Places quality guidelines and if you verified your listing.
